- #Oh for Pete's sake. Everyone on the face of the planet is BORN with
- #a mind of their own. (That is of course, unless they die before birth.)
-
- Some people understand figures of speech - unfortunately you
- don't. (Even someone pretending not to understand what I
- meant should not forget anencephalic babies, wouldn't you think?)
-
- #To suggest that any woman could POSSIBLY give up her mind on her wedding
- #day, much less that she may have in fact done so, is utterly ridiculous,
- #and completely counterproductive to the advancement of respect for women
- #in this world.
-
- Whatever, Suzanne. You're babbling about your misinterpretation
- of what I said.
-
- #Ms. Garvin, not even LAWS could take away a woman's mind. All laws can
- #possibly do is protect human beings from harm by other human beings.
-
- I agree with your first sentence, but not your second. (If you
- want to play "literal interpretation, then you should realize
- that some laws have nothing to do with protecting human beings
- from harm by other human beings.)
-
- I still don't believe that one is important simply because
- one is married to someone important. Do you, Suzanne?
